Emily plays all day long and when I say all day I mean from the moment she wakes up (at 5:30AM, might I add) until the moment she goes to bed. She usually wants me to play with her but every now and then she will play by herself, but always makes sure I am within eye-shot. It's so sweet to watch her explore and entertain herself.
Well, this afternoon she wasn't just playing with me, she was actually starting to play "pretend" and I couldn't believe it. She loves to play with her toy basket and frequently dumps all the toys out and then loves to put them all back in. Well today, after she dumped all the toys out I ask her if she wanted to make a stew. Rabbit stew, in fact, poor Peter! She proceeded to put Pete in the basket along with a few other essential stew ingredients including; a lip gloss, wrist rattle, and fake can of pineapple juice (I know, I will stop your mouths are probably watering at the very thought). Well she stirred that stew right up with her wooden spoon and wouldn't you know she took a sip! Normally, she loves to play with her wooden spoons but that means using them to drum or trying to eat them, never actually for anything even related to there intended purpose, I couldn't believe it! I then asked if Mommy could have a sip of the stew and she put the spoon right up to my mouth, a genius I tell you! She then gave Daddy a few tastes and even Charlie, she is so thoughtful.
I know this story may sound silly, but I feel like this was such a huge milestone in her development that I just had to share. Spoken like a proud Mama...
